Aslan also accompanied Ben to sell mushrooms from the children on the island and bought them sweet buns to take home. The two men then accompanied Barl to clean their used drums. Most of the fish they had caught had been sold out. Only half a drum remained that they would sell on their island.
Barl and his children could not linger on the big island, as the waves would be much more dangerous. Friday to Sunday was the right time to sail from the inner island to the outer island because the waves would be calmer. However, if they sailed on other days, the waves could be so high that it could destroy the ship in one blow.
Moreover, they only used an ordinary wooden ship. Because the Torao Archipelago had more than a hundred islands, the ocean water became fierce due to the erratic encounter of the wave currents. They didn't want to get lost at sea without knowing the way home.
